Cancer & Beyond Follow-Up Retreat

The ongoing path to health, healing and wellbeing

Retreat Overview

Facilitated by our expert therapeutic team including Dr Ruth Gawler, this series of Cancer & Beyond follow up retreats are tailored to past participants who have previously attended a Gawler cancer program, and their support people.

Running twice a year, each of these evidence-based follow up cancer retreats offer a new group dynamic, extended program content and an excellent opportunity to build on previous program learning’s, deepen your practices, and reaffirm your intentions for healing and wellbeing.

A chance to take time out and immerse in a combination of relaxation, meditation, nutrition therapy, instructional sessions to consolidate and build on what you already know, and to connect and share your cancer journey with like-minded people. Highly regenerative in nature, you will return home feeling refreshed and revitalised.

“… next July it will be twenty years since Sue and I came to the first 10 day retreat. It was a time when I was given six to nine months to live. There has been no trace of mesothelioma left in my body for some years. I will always remain grateful for Ian and Ruth Gawler and the blessings I received from the Foundation.”

Plus being immersed in the beautiful natural environment of the Yarra Valley, the delicious and vibrant plant-based meals and juices, and treatments with our wonderful team of body therapists.
